AMONG GERMAN TROOPS IN FRANCE —■ i UNWILLINGNESS TO FIGHT IN RUSSIA. DEMANDS FOR TERMINATION OF WAR. ' (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day. 1.5 p.m.) LONDON, August 20. The “Telegraph” says Free French authorities in- London have received from agents in occupied France a report telling of German disunity and fears. The informant, who moves freely among the German troops in France, reports that old men are relieving the garrisons in France. The idea of fighting against the Russians caused general dismay among the troops. It is believed that drunkenness among the troops is increasing. Bombing raids have made a tremendous impression on the German people and this reacts on the morale of the troops, who often receive letters announcing the death of relatives. They curse the war and demand that it be brought to an end by whatever means.
